MEET THE TEAM
- BALUKU ERIKAN
A 21 year old student at Makerere University pursuing a Bachelor's degree of Biomedical Laboratory Technology currently in his final year.
Hobbies: Watching soccer, dancing, watching movies, swimming and making new friends.
He had a passion about synthetic biology which inspired him to participate in IGEM and he is ready to continue with his career in synthetic biology.
Personal words: I have got an excellent experience with the team where i have learnt various skills in research especially in the field of molecular biology, interaction with different people from various universities and communication of scientific based information. Furthermore, I have come to know different companies that enhance synthetic biology like Twist bioscience, Promega, and IDT across the world. - Alex Kyabarongo. (Team Leader)
Alex is an undergraduate student at Makerere University in his third year pursuing a Ba. Veterinary Medicine with particular interest in PUBLIC HEALTH, EPIDEMILOGY and VETERINARY PREVENTIVE MEDICINE. He enjoys traveling especially with his dog in game parks, touring natural resources, but sometimes training leadership, motivation and mentorship to the young generation though a scientist ha-ha. Not forgetting his free time soccer fun and reading.
Why iGEM? As Synthetic Biology is a relatively young area of science, I feel there is a lot of unexplored territory to investigate, and that makes iGEM a particularly pioneering, exciting, and challenging research opportunity.
“I have had great time being part of this amazing team of iGEM Makerere University 2018, I have learnt a lot, I have been transformed in the world of synthetic biology and its dynamics and on how to deal with deadlines, I hope for the best at the jamboree in Boston.”
